A law enforcement officer's gun was stolen from a car in Oakland on Wednesday morning, according to police. The burglary was reported at 9:58 a.m. near a shopping plaza at the intersection of Fruitvale Avenue and East Ninth Street, a few blocks from the Fruitvale BART station, police said.
Oakland police spokeswoman Officer Johnna Watson said the firearm belonged to a law enforcement agency that was not Oakland police, but she did not know which agency.
The theft comes days after University of California, Berkeley's police Chief Margo Bennett had her gun, badge, department-issued laptop and other items stolen as she jogged at Point Isabel in Richmond last Friday morning.
Meanwhile, a preliminary hearing continues today for Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an undocumented immigrant accused of shooting and killing 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle at San Francisco's Pier 14 on July 1 using a gun stolen from a Federal Bureau of Land Management agent's car.
Did they run a background check on the perp?
Will this cost her her job?
Had to be some kinda dumbazz cop. I know a few cops and they always put everything in the trunk of their vehicles when they are parked out of sight of their cars. No excuse here.
Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez is NOT an “undocumented immigrant.”
He is a murdering, criminal illegal alien invader.
Take that, San Fransicko NBC Bay Area!
Send this to Mad Magazine, maybe they'll do a spoof story on it.
Was the car door left unlocked? Or the car window left open?
Or was there any evidence of the car being broken into?
Were these very sensitive items stored inside in the interior of the passenger area of the vehicle where it could be seen or easily gained access to? Or in the locked trunk where they should have been?
